Unfortuanatly, I had to downgrade my machine back to XP Pro. I was able to
make a clone of my entire drive to Firewire before reformating and
reinstalling.

What I seem unable to to is resurrect my original Outlook ID/saved mails,
contacts etc. (Outlook 2007 installed now). I'm a bit at a loss, and would
appreciate one of the Outlook MVP's popping me an email to help me out. We
can discuss doing a 'live help' thing....I have listed my "v-dash" vendor
acct. email to decipher

v-daveg

thanks.
